SLS Named in Top 5% of Providers Statewide
At Supportive Living Services (SLS), we’re proud to share a major achievement reflecting our organization's high standards, dedication, and excellence.
SLS has been officially placed in the Select Tier through Pennsylvania’s Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) system. This is a distinction awarded to only a small percentage of providers across the state of Pennsylvania. Out of 433 eligible organizations, roughly 80 submitted applications for top-tier consideration, and just 16 providers earned placement in the Select or Clinically Enhanced Tiers. This places SLS in the top 5.3% of providers statewide! This is a powerful recognition of the quality and impact of our services.
What Is Performance-Based Contracting?
Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) is a statewide initiative launched by the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) to elevate and differentiate providers based on service quality, innovation, and measurable outcomes. While most providers were placed in the standard Primary Tier, those with a proven track record of excellence were invited to apply for higher-tier placement.
What does a "select tier provider" mean?
Earning a Select Tier designation means SLS is recognized for consistently delivering high-quality, person-centered care. This tier assignment also brings enhanced opportunities for our organization, including:
-
Increased funding rates to support service delivery and staff development
-
Public recognition on the Department of Human Services (DHS) website
-
Access to additional quality improvement initiatives and resources
Additional Recognition Through Pay for Performance
In addition to our tier designation, SLS was awarded funding through the Pay for Performance (PFP) initiative. PFP is a program designed to support providers that submit strong plans for organizational and service enhancement. We were approved in all three areas we applied for, resulting in an award of approximately $106,000. These funds support efforts that strengthen our workforce, expand programming, and improve outcomes for the individuals and families we serve.
This Is a Shared Success
These accomplishments reflect the heart of SLS: a team deeply committed to doing what’s right, and a community of families who stand with us every step of the way. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our staff or the continued partnership of the people we serve.
We are honored to be recognized for the quality of our work, but we’re even more honored to continue doing that work every day. Thank you for being part of the SLS family. Your trust and support inspire us to reach higher and do more, always.
